What Do you Need to Keep in Mind while Shopping for Watches?

Posted by kamal on April 20th, 2022

Gone were those days when it’s a common viewpoint that accessories are only for women. Now, it is evident that accessories are not just for women. These days, one can easily find a plethora of accessories that are suitable for men. These days, men do not restrict themselves to wearing hats or rings.  Can you name an accessory that is worn by men in older times and now as well? Classic gold and diamond watch. If you think that these precious metals are only taken in use to compose jewelry, maybe you need to think again.

Old is Gold:

In today\'s digitalized age of smartphones and smartwatches, you would think that why would anyone want to purchase some ‘less smartwatch’? Well, because you cannot deny the fact that \'OLD IS GOLD\'. There are several reasons to still splurge on a conventional waterproof wristwatch. For example, they’re usually easy on your pocket, you won’t have to worry about the battery for many years to come and offers a classy look.

Style:

You want to spend your hard-earned money on buying a watch that should look great on your wrist. These days, watches are available in all shapes and sizes. A buyer can categorize watches into one of the following styles:

  • sport
  • luxury
  • casual
  • vintage

The style you want should depend on when you plan on wearing your watch the most.

If you plan on wearing it to formal business events, you can buy one of the luxury watches for men. Doing so will make a good choice. Whereas, if you just want a conventional watch that serves well and works for both personal and business settings, a casual or vintage watch should do the work. Finally, if you’re an outdoorsman or athlete, a sports watch is possible to entail the features and strength you want.

Type:

Digital watches incorporate large numbers across the face, depicting the time similar to mobile phones. Analog watches tend to look a bit more old-fashioned, with clock hands and either roman numerals or digits around the outside.

Most sports watches have a digital interface, while luxury or casual watches include analog faces. While digital watches are more straightforward to read and generally consist of other features, they are much more complex to use.

Material:

Given below are the most standard materials (for the band and case):

  • canvas
  • gold
  • silver
  • plastic
  • titanium
  • leather (only for the band)

Canvas and plastic watches tend to offer a cheap look but are generally more durable.

Contrary to this, the metal materials tend to look amazing, but gold and silver watches are usually expensive.

And when it comes to leather, it offers a traditional look.
